Subject: the gloves are off????

I recently had a discussion with a patron about the use of gloves at other repositories he had visited recently.  He said that he had been to the National Archives and had worn latex gloves to look at archival materials rather than cotton gloves.  He said that "they" have found that cotton gloves contribute to more damage to documents by leaving fibers and the latex gloves allow patrons to handle documents with more care, cutting down on paper damage.

Have any of you changed your policy on wearing gloves?  And if so, is there any published research concerning a move away from cotton gloves?

Thanks,

Val
